Rather than working out the cost, let's work out the value.
What would people invest to have 4-5 new "Shakib's, Tamim's or Mashrafe's" with a professional mindset and fully-skilled to compete with the very best? Out of a group of 15-18 identified players you would look for 4-5 to come through very strongly, if not more.
The BCB is getting 44 million US dollars for the BPL rights. Is it worth investing 10%, 5%, 2% of that into an annual scheme like this? You can always build something to suit the investment. The more invested, the better, deeper and more effective the results.
It depends what you feel is important in Bangladesh Cricket. If like me, you feel it's important to train and develop talent correctly, then no amount of money, however large or small, is ever a waste
